Equipment

mixing bowls You'll need bowls for different components, such as one for the mascarpone mixture and another for the coffee soaking liquid
Electric Mixer To whip the egg yolks, egg whites, and mascarpone cheese. A hand micer or a stand micer with the whisk attachment works well
Whisk For combining ingredients, particularly for the egg yolks
Spatula or Mixing Spoon For folding the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture
Rectangular Dish or Trifle Dish Tiramisu is often assembled in layers, so having a rectangular dish or trifle dish makes it easier to layer the ingredients
Baking Dish or Pan To brew the strong coffee or espresso used for saoking the ladyfings
Dipping Tool or Tongs To quickly dip the ladyfingers into the coffee without making them too soggy
Plastic Wrap To cover and chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator
Dusting Tools (Optional) Some people like to dust cocoa powder or grated chocolate on top of the finished tiramisu. A fine-mesh sieve or sifter can be useful for this
Plates or Glasses for Serving Tiramisu is often served in individual portions. Have plates or glasses ready for serving

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder

Instructions

Brew a cup of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and granulated sugar until creamy and pale in color.

In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
Dip each ladyfinger into the brewed coffee for a few seconds and layer them in a serving dish to create the base.
Spread a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers as needed, finishing with a layer of mascarpone mixture on top.
